My Dragon System

Chapter 203 - Fallen Angel

After hearing Lenny's words, all eyes were on Ark but even Ark was confused by what Lenny had just said.

"Oh, I'm not talking about you of course." Lenny said with a smile, "Did you inform anyone of your visit to see the Divine being?"

"Only my guild leader knows about this visit."

Lenny then handed the ring over to Ark. "before I say anything else are you absolutely positive this belongs to your Guild."

Without any hesitation, Ark replied in an instant.

"Without a doubt."

"You see servants of the Shadow plague that haven't been possessed are sometimes tasked with a mission and to make sure there servant will do their best to complete the mission, they are asked to give up an item that will be able to identify them in case they fail."

"It looks like the Shadow plague has already got its hands deeply rooted in this city as well," Gary said.

"What do you mean?" Lilly asked.

"I'm sure you did your research about the fall of Avrion, well the whole reason that happened was because the shadow plague already had several men planted within the academy doing its bidding." Gary Explained.

"Avrion has fallen!" Lenny said with a surprised look on his face.

Gary then went on to explain to the rest of the group about what had happened At Avrion. How even the people at the top were working for the Shadow plague. That in the end, a group named the Red wings led by an adventurer named Nes had saved them.

"It's all true," Gary said, "And now I'm afraid the same thing might happen to this very city."

Lenny was now very curious about these Red wings' members. Other than himself, he had never found someone who was able to find the hidden evil within a city before. He had suspected Avrion might fall one day due to its stubborn rules but never expected it to be saved by an outside group.

"It can't be," Ark said with a horrified look on his face. "My guild can't be involved with the Shadow plague. I've known them for years; they are all good people. I must confront them about this immediately."

"And get yourself killed?" Lenny said, "That is foolish and will only cause us all to be punished."

"What should we do know then?" Lilly asked.

"My advice is it is best not to continue to go forward, who knows what else lies ahead. We should find the traitor first and then come back once it's safe."

"I can't let this evil stay in my guild, I must find out the truth," Ark said as he started to storm off but Lilly had managed to grab him just in time.

"We will all go together as proof that something is going on, that why they are less likely to act with me there," Lilly said with a smile.

"You guys can go but I shall take no part in this," Keke said as he stood up and put his hand against his wound. "I do not wish to cause a war between our two guilds, but I wish you all luck."

After putting the lock back and leaving everything how they had first found it. The group minus Keke decided to head to the Fallen Angel guild together. The Fallen angel Guildhall was located on the east side of the city.

The Fallen angel Guildhall was a large building with two angel wings placed on top. It was the group's symbol and it matched the ring that Lenny had found underground. The building itself was decorated with shiny white and gold all around and was just as flashy as Ark himself.

The group entered the building together and when the other members saw Ark many of them greeted him and Lilly. The room was filled with about 100 members all bearing the mark of the Fallen angel somewhere on their clothing or amour.

"Wow!" Gary said, "Do you think we can have a place like this one-day Ray?"

"Once the funds at Avrion have returned to normal, I plan to set up a guildhall there for our members," Ray replied.

The group continued to follow Ark through the building until he eventually stopped at a counter just at the back.

"Where is Mark?? tell him I wish to have a meeting with him." Ark asked the lady behind the counter.

"Mark is upstairs, as usual, should I inform him of your visit."

"No need, I will go to him myself." Ark went past the counter and to the stairs where two guards were standing by. Ark was let through but when Lilly and the others tried stepping forward, the guards stood in their way.

"Only members of Fallen angel may past through here." The guard said.

"They are with me," Ark replied.

"I'm sorry but rules are rules."

Just then though, a man wearing a white robe with golden lining started to walk down the stairs.

"Ark! I heard you were looking for me. Guards please, allow Ark and his friends to come upstairs."

The upper floor of the Guild hall was mainly used as an organization room. The Guild leader Mark and his assistants usually stayed up here sorting out Guild funds, Guild quests, and all sorts of Admin work. The room was similar to the building designed with many jewels and gems throughout.

The group was taken to a large table where there was a sofa on either side. Mark sat on one side of the table with two guards by his side, while Ark and the others sat on the other side.

"So Ark, what's the rush, do you bring urgent news form the Divine being?" Mark asked.

"No I…" For a second Ark paused, He found it hard to believe that the man in front of him might be connected to the Shadow plague in some way.

But then Lenny was the first one to act and placed the ring in the middle of the table.

"No games, this is yours is it not?" Lenny said.
